Lake Dunmore Lodge held very in
teresting meeting at their new hall on
Friday evening last, on the occasion of a
visit from some of the grand lodge Off
GERS and other brothers from Burlington.
Assisted by ID. @. NJ. ii. W. Hall and
District Deputy Goodell and other visit
ing brothers, the initiatory degree and
the degree of Friendship were worked to
the satisfaction of all present. The
brothers appeared in their new regalia,
which was highly praised by the grand
officers. Mr.. Hall made very happy
speech, full of the wit and humor for
which hes noted. Mr.. Goodell con-
graduated the lodge on the rapid pro-
gress made during the year, not only in
the increase of members and their fnan-
cial condition but in their great improve
ment in the work of the order. During
his remarks he said " our work was bet
ter than some large city lodges he had
seen.' The lodge have rented, in con-
nection with the Knights of Honor, the
beautiful hall in the L. NJ. Chapman
block, which gives them every comfort
and convenience. In short, We trust that
Lake Dunmore Lodge has emerged from
the dark age through which she has pass
ed and now has a bright prospect before
her Our visiting brothers will accept our
thanks for their words of cheer. and we
sincerely hope we may see them often.

PRODUCTION of these city papers will help
the Republican party of the State. We
can't see how. Vermont is amply pro-
vided with Republican papers, which
keep their readers tolerably well informed
of political moves the State is Republi-
can by big majority and will be for
decades to come. 1t is true that our cleo
tion comes early in the fall and thus
serves to indicate, in some degree at least,
the general result. However, this
amounts to little, and can have almost
no effect upon that result.
In the second place, it is an unbusiness-
like scheme. We furnish at S1.50 as good
a paper as we can make for that money.
If we lower the price we must lower the
quality. But we do not think the intel
ligent people of Addison county want a
cheap paper. They want it edited with
some care, and well printed with good
ink on good paper. These things cost
money and we put money into them be-
cause they pay us a fair price for what
ohCy SVO' 4NLu lIldl. we are euIcs Ilicy
are still willing to do. We might by ac-
ceptance of the committees plan give our
readers at small scost, this year, a city
paper; but we should have to make our
own paper just so much poorer either this
year or the year after; for news
paper is business enterprise and
its income must equal its expenditures or
it will go to the wall. Nor is it sound
policy to give something for nothing one
year and withhold it the next. If we
furnish a city paper for a small price one
year, our subscribers are entitled to ex-
pect it every year. But that can't be
done. We are not in the gift enterprise
business and we don't propose to go into
it. We intend to devote our time and
attention to this paper, in the firm belief
that we can in that way best further the
interests of the Republican party not on
ly, but also those of Middlebury and
Addison county, to say nothing of our
own. We are willing and anxious to do
anything in reason for the Republican
party, but it is an unwarranted assump-
ton that a committee of that party or of
any other party knows more about our
business than we ourselves know, or can
be allowed to dictate the conduct of our
affairs.

THE ENDOWMENT SECURED.

The endowment fund of $50, 900 for the
college has been secured and Hon. w. G..
Veazey of Rutland, the Judge of the SUI
preme court designated for the purpose,
has looked over the subscriptions, as pro-
vided in the memorandum agreement
between the college authorities and sub
scribers, and has approved them, thus
completing the contract.
Four-fifths of the sum so obtained is to
be added to the permanent fund of the
institution and the income alone is to be
used; the other fifth may be expended in
the payment of debts or in such other
ways as are deemed expedient by the col
lege authorities.
Too much credit cannot be given to
Hon. l.. ID. Eldredge, the treasurer of the
college, Tor the accomplishment of this
task. He has travelled good many thou
sand miles to see alumni and friends of
the institution, and has done great deal
of hard work, for which he deserves and
will receive their hearty thanks. The
college, though now fully equipped with
excellent instructors, will be able to add
to the number if it shall seem desirable,
and in other directions will not be ham
pered as it has been for some time past
on account of the lack of funds. Every
thing considered, the outlook for Middle
bury college was never brighter than it
is today.

AN EXPLANATION.

"There is still a spark of grace left in
this church; water it, Lord, water it,"
prayed the deacon of the story at the
revival. This utterance fairly represents
the apparent sentiment of the Republi-
can State committee toward the news
papers Of the State. but with an import
ant difference. The good man meant
better than he prayed, and was simply
the victim of what a rhetOrican would
call mixed metaphor, while the COM
mittee are solemn as owls under their
attack of dementia or some kindred all
ment. The deacon knew better if he had
stopped to think, while the committee
seem to know the less the longer they
cogitate upon the problem they have set
out to solve,
That problem is, to force the Republi-
Can papers of the State at their dicta-
tlon to give up share of their legitimate
income, and, in addition, advertise aud aid
In extending the circulation of metropol-
itan sheets. The committee propose to
furnish these outside journals at a re-
duced figure on condition that the State
papers also put into the "combine" a part
of their subscription price and offer the
two papers at substantially the price of
their own. We have declined to go into
committees pool, and, since it is matter
which affects our subscribers as well as
ourselves, we have thought best to tell
them why we refuse to gulp the COM
mitteee's bait.
In the first place, we can see no reason
for it. The committee aver that the in

PENSION MATTERS.

1t is probable that, aside from the tar
if, the subject of pensions will prove the
most important to be acted upon by Con-
gress at the present session. All sorts of
bills will doubtless be introduced, but
it is safe to say that none will be more
deserving of passage than that which
it is understood Mr.. Edmunds will short
ly introduce. 1t will provide that if
any invalid pensioner, who was receiv-
ing or entitled to receive, at the date of
his death, under the general law, pen
sion of not less than So a month, has
died, or shall hereafter die, leaving a
widow or minor child or children under
IL years of age, such widow or child or
children shall be placed upon the pension
roll at the rates established by law for
widows and minor children without re-
gard to the cause of death of such pen
SiOupr.

THE MESSAGE.

"The message is certainly surprising
one, but it is not surprising because there
is an, thing new in it. No one familiar
with the monstrous misstatements of the
free-trade argument needed more than a
word here and there to feel that the ad-
ministration had gone over to the Carlisle
wing with no disguise whatever"
The above are the comments of Rep
resentative Reed of Maine on the Pres
ident's message. We print enough OF the
document in another column to show its
tenor and to make quite clear that Mr..
Reed is not far out of the way in what he
says. The President has taken the bull
by the horns and the country will look
with great interest upon the antics of the
chief magistrate and his party in their
contests with the animal. The Repub-
licans couldn't have asked a more salts
factory platform on which to fight them.
There can be but one result. The Re-
publcans will have all the help they
need to stay the incoming of free-trade
principles and practices, and the Dem
ocratic party will be relegated to a long
retirement from active participation in
the government of the country.

Among the working classes in the towns,
and the laborers in the villages, the con-
slant theme of their conversation and
their wonderment is free trade. Wages
are going down everywhere, and the
workman and the laborer have long be-
gun to suspect that free trade is the cause
of it. So strong and general is the feel
ing that while the Golden club gentle
men used to laugh at Fair Trade, they
are now frig ghtened lest any leading pub
lie man on the Conservative side should
take it up. The cry of protection is like
ly to be simply irresistible, and the
working politicians believe that it will
